Villagers in Andhra’s Rebba risk their lives to cross swollen Nagavali river to save ailing children. Video of the incident went viral on social media. The villagers used a makeshift bamboo boat to shift two ill children to a nearby hospital due to the long-delayed completion of the essential Purnapadu-Labesu bridge on the Nagavali river in Komarada mandal. The Purnapadu-Labesu bridge construction started in 2006 but is still incomplete for various reasons.
